Bashing Uber and Lyft? [View all]

I'm sick of the misinformed and ignorant posts about these driver apps

One poster compared me to a child molester..really?

Fact: background checks ARE required for employment by both companies.

Fact: They don't pay well, I made $93 driving all day yesterday and that does not include gas or water for clients
and I still need to pay taxes from the $93

Fact: Most riders are great but occasionally you get a rider who leaves trash or clips their nails or just reeks of body
odor...in YOUR private car..and I won't comment about trump supporters

Fact: Uber and Lyft rely heavily on ratings and ride acceptance, you get score of 4's consistently on a scale of 1 thru 5 and you WILL have your account closed

Fact: They do have insurance for riders and the drivers, they also require car seats for small children (but riders will lie about the need)

Fact: They ARE considerably cheaper than taxis, I've taken a fair share of disabled riders and they cannot afford a regular taxi so for them we are a godsend

Are they perfect?...hell no but If your having a hard time finding a job or just need extra cash they fit the bill.

On edit: let the flames begin
